Well for one, I believe in having a true FS. Having a single high safety and have an extra man in the box increases the deadliness of the zone blitz so much more. Sure, Iloka and Williams are serviceable when used in a relatively conservative fashion, but you won't field an elite defense that way imo.

Another reason I think it is a need is that Iloka and Smith seem to refuse to tackle. They throw themselves around going for the big hit, which is nice every now and then. But they've missed some crucial tackles doing that.

And finally, they're just injured too much (specifically Williams). We need more consistency in the secondary.
